Daily observations at or near Two Dot Spot, written by hand on the backs of postcards that record with ink and coffee a few minutes of the earth's orbit around the sun. The cards are physically mailed from Two Dot, Montana to those who have requested them...local to local. Ruth Marie Tomlinson

There is complete cloud cover and
it has been raining off and on since yesterday. I awoke in the night to the
sound of rain and slipped further under the covers so I could keep the window
open to listen. Bird song kept me from closing the window in the morning. Birds
seem to have rain preferences; lots of robins were out but fewer meadowlarks. I
can be sure the ranchers are crowing too, unless they have cut hay getting wet.
It is all such a gamble, what you need and what the weather provides you. The
rain has prevented me from drawing, so I’ve watched everything that goes on outside
from window squares. Cloistered in the kitchen with a small heater to stay
warm, it’s been a day for observation and separateness.
